Yet another reminder that the Falcons are insanely stacked

We all know how good these Falcons can be, but sometimes it’s nice to step back and appreciate it in full. Let’s take a moment to do that right now.

When you put it that way—and when you consider that most of those guys are very young—this team looks like a contender for the long haul.

It all starts tonight, when the Falcons challenge the Dolphins in a largely meaningless preseason game that nevertheless gets 2017 going. We’re all ready for a vengeance tour, and the players named above will be a key part of that.
